Muff DiverMember
I’ve had mine for several months now and must say I absolutely love it. It has quickly become one of my favorite OD pedals. I’d recommend it to anyone.
Muff DiverMemberFrom the reviews I’ve seen on Youtube they are identical except for the external case decoration. Might I say, I REALLY like the sound of this pedal and plan on getting one very soon. I don’t care which case it’s in.
Muff DiverMemberNice tip, gemather. Thanks! I’ve used a lot of different pedals in front of muffs before, but never another muff. I don’t have the micro metal muff. I shall have to try my regular metal muff and see what transpires.
Muff DiverMemberI’m no expert on this, but I would hazard a guess that it’s a late 70’s model. Most of the ones I’ve seen have the text in either blue and white or black and white, but I have seen one that was black box with white and blue print. They did a lot of variations on color schemes in the late 70’s and early 80’s on a lot of their products. Too bad the solder covers the pot numbers. I’ve seen these on ebay for anywhere between $60 and $125 USD. Not nearly as collectible as a Big Muff or Memory Man from the same era. Nice find, anyway. I love the LPB-1 and used to have an early 70’s model. I have a LPB-1 Nano model now. Good luck on finding out more about this interesting variation on a classic pedal!
Muff DiverMemberI use a One Spot on my EHX pedals all the time. The only ones you might need to watch out for are some of the higher power demand pedals that EHX has. Always check the current draw for each pedal and make sure to never get too close to what your power supply will deliver. I’ve had 5 pedals connected on my One Spot with no problems, but I’m talking a Soul Food, OD Glove, Tone Wicker Muff, Germanium OD and Double Muff. My Holy Stain does not like cheap power supplies, but works fine with the One Spot. I don’t have a clue about the B9 or Memory Man and that kind of power draw.
Muff DiverMemberCongrats on the score! I still have that pedal on my list. Maybe somebody will feel sorry for me and put one in my Christmas stocking this year.
Muff DiverMemberMine is the same way. It takes some playing around with the settings to find that sweet spot, but man is it sweet when you do find it. I’ve also found mine works better for that lo-fi distortion sound with an actual battery instead of a power adapter. That is purely my experience and opinion, though. Actual mileage may vary.

Muff DiverMemberI’ve recently added a little Marshall MG10CD for noodling in the bedroom. I’m also currently looking at some type of Laney, but haven’t bitten the bullet quite yet.
Muff DiverMemberThe Soul Food is an exceptional pedal, especially considering the price point. I actually was so excited about it when I first got it that I wrote a review of it here. I still love it, and it’s quite a nice pedal to stack in front of the OD Glove, or any other drive pedal, to really send it into the stratosphere. Put it in front of a slightly dirty amp and it will take it over the edge and beyond.
Muff DiverMemberTwo awesome pedals, for sure. I have both and use them regularly. The OD Glove is very similar in tone to the Fulltone OCD, but a little different, at least to my ears. As for the Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker, it is indeed my favorite of all the muffs that EHX offers EXCEPT for the new Deluxe Big Muff. That thing is absolutely awesome. I’ve dialed in every type of Muff tone from a Triangle to a Rams’ Head to the venerable Green Russian. It will recreate the Tone Wicker tone, too. It costs a lot more than the Tone Wicker, but it will give you something to play with for a LONG time. Congrats and enjoy the sweet tones!

First, never, ever use a spray cleaner and spray it directly onto the pedal. Spray a small amount onto the cleaning cloth and then gently wipe onto the pedal. Always be careful not to get liquid inside the box itself! The first step I do is mix a small amount of Dawn dish detergent with distilled water and put into a spray bottle. Next I thoroughly clean the outside of the box, removing the knobs if necessary to get under them. Dry the pedal completely. If there is some really tough dirt left then I use Formula 409 the same way. Spray a little onto a clean cloth and clean the exterior of the pedal. I never scrub the painted areas, but wipe firmly and gently and let the 409 do it’s work. Rinse the 409 off of the pedal with a little of the water/Dawn detergent mix and wipe dry. Let it sit and dry completely. I finally spray a little Turtle Wax no buff spray wax onto a clean cloth and go over the entire outside of the pedal. It shines it up and helps protect the finish for a good long while. I usually try to clean each pedal at least once a year (rarely happens, though). I’ve tried many different methods and products, but this one works best for me and I hope it will work well for you.
Muff DiverMemberYep, they use the echo from this forum as the model for their Memory Man.
Muff DiverMemberSorry, but I was wrong. They do both have “Made in NYC, USA” underneath the Electro-Harmonix, it’s just so small and thin you can’t see it in the picture with the bright light against the silver. I pulled the pedals out last night to mess around with them and sure enough, there it was.
